New World Order' has cost U.S. dearly

Back in 1945 at the end of World War II, I watched a news reel of a German sitting on a pile of rubble. The large city behind him was in ruins as were all the German cities. He was asked what he thought of Hitler now and he said he still supported him. This man had been so brainwashed he could no longer tell right from wrong. Nothing has changed, we have had five men get us into three wars that were all based on lies and over 300,000 killed. We have had half the wealth of this nation handed over to one percent of the people, 47 percent went to three percent of the people and the remaining 47 percent of the people have three percent. We have seen 90,000 companies now with an address on the Cayman Islands to avoid paying taxes; over 50,000 companies given a tax break to leave the U.S. along with millions of jobs. Ninety percent of our electronics and clothing companies gone and the Republicans want to know why there are no jobs being created. And a president blaming it on the Republicans for giving the companies a tax break to leave but who did nothing about it when he had a Democratic Congress.

We were told when Bush invaded Afghanistan we would get bin Laden and we would be out. Yet they could have got him in the first month and they let him walk because the military complex were there to make money. President Eisenhower warned us about the military complex. He was a president who ended wars. I was deep into North Korea when Ike told us we were going home and the war was over. Thank God the likes of Bush or Obama were not president or I would still be there.

The very people who started three wars made millions from the wars, yet you see nothing in the press. Obama says the war is over this year but wants to keep 10,000 troops there 10 more years at a cost of $6 billion a month, most of it going to contractors who want us never to leave. We cut food stamps for veterans but the 350,000 Afghan army will get paid as will the 50,000 Afghan police force. We will cut education here but pay the entire cost of Afghanistan schools. We are buying the Afghan Army $1 billion worth of helicopters made in Russia. I asked my senator “why from Russia?” He said because they learned to fly Russian helicopters. Senator, that was 30 years ago, they are now scrap and the men who flew them are retired; we do build them in Pennsylvania. It’s no wonder we are in trouble.

As a retired supervisor I can tell you why wages are so low, Bush and Congress gave away our manufacturing jobs so seven people are now chasing one job. When you have more people then jobs, the wages go down; when there are more jobs, then people’s wages go up. Bush knew that when he gave away American jobs. The one percent get richer every year. No wonder half the country is on food stamps. This is the New World Order H. W. Bush promised us. In “Sound Off” tell us how you like his gift to the American people.
